Texting & Driving

As parents we all now have something in common when our children start driving, for parents with children who have diabetes it is the worry of a low blood sugar but what about all the “texting” that’s going on? Throw in the distraction of texting and we are faced with one more obstacle to over come. I am all for putting the phone away when driving unless needed, but if your kids are like mine they can virtually text without even looking.

I recently did an interview with Dr. Charles Sophy: Dr. Charles Sophy has dedicated his life to the physical and mental well-being of children and families nationwide. As a psychiatrist specializing in Adult, Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and Family Practice, he currently serves as the Medical Director for the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), the nation’s largest Child Welfare System. He was first asked to provide his medical opinion on national television for PBS in a show called “A Place of Our Own”. After a successful first television appearance, he was invited to provide his expertise on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew Pinsky, Sober House with Dr. Drew, Today Show, Larry King Live, The Rachael Ray Show, Fox News Channel, Good Morning America, CNN Anderson Cooper, Inside Edition, CBS Early Show and Fox News Channel. He is best known for his work with Dr. Drew on Celebrity Rehab and is now a regularly featured expert. For more information,
